Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Signal Iduna Park forms the backdrop for a blockbuster Bundesliga showdown between Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Monchengladbach.

It feels like it’s one step forward and two steps back for Borussia Dortmund as they bid to end Bayern Munich’s decade-long Bundesliga reign. Having alternated between wins (3) and draws (2) in their last five league outings, Edin Terzic’s men head into the final three matchdays one point below pacesetters Bayern. But ‘Die Borussen’ have been nothing short of impressive at home this season, winning their last ten competitive outings at Singal Iduna Park to register their longest streak of triumphs on home turf since 1994! Moreover, Terzic’s high-flyers have netted 11 straight unanswered goals at home, including an overwhelming 6-0 victory over Wolfsburg last time out. Gladbach’s upcoming visit will unlikely change the narrative, with Dortmund racking up a mind-blowing 16 wins in their 17 most recent competitive H2Hs at home (L1) by an aggregate score of 49-9.

As if Borussia Monchengladbach don’t have enough on their plate already, they must cope with a dreadful run at Signal Iduna Park. Indeed, Daniel Farke’s men head into proceedings amid a rotten spell of form (W2, D4, L4). Despite a 2-0 home win over relegation-battling Bochum last time out, ‘Die Fohlen’ have already waved goodbye to their European hopes, which is largely due to their sub-standard form on hostile turf. In addition to picking up just one single win on 15 Bundesliga travels this entire season (D6, L8), the visitors are winless in their last six away league games (D2, L4), scoring a meager average of 0.5 goals per match. Defensive resilience hasn’t been their strong suit either, with Farke’s side conceding 2+ goals in four of those six outings.
